"This guide helps the technology industry to engage citizens and society towards more responsible technology"
Introducing the Sockets guide, designed to facilitate the involvement of different organisations in technology development and implementation processes, such as artificial intelligence, photonics or advanced manufacturing
This guide helps the technology industry engage citizens and society towards more responsible technology and the development of innovations that have the potential to solve global problems. Innovation aligned with the values, needs and concerns of society.
It is therefore crucial for the technology industry to be committed to citizens, listening to their point of view and developing ways to address their concerns.
A guide is needed to engage citizens in emerging technologies, which embrace the need to reorient technological development and innovation towards the needs posed by social challenges, such as climate change or ageing and the new United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
